Anyone know of a solution to this.

In Word 2003 when dropping a screen grab into word the picture appears as normal, however if you scroll down the document and scroll back up the part of the picture that was off screen remains gone until you click on the picture and hit enter. Why would it do this - cant be a memory issue as its a P4 2.8 with 512mb RAM.

Any ideas?

PS anyone know how to turn on the function keys in word and set them to certain tasks?

thanks

Hi,

This is a known problem - can you tell me if you have a Dell workstation?

Arse to that - you may have anything - although I've seen it on Dells commonly. I expect though, that you have something with a Intel 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset (Dell Optiplex Workstations have them)

Here is a description of your issue:

Follow the instructions to update the Intel Mobo/Chipset/Graphics Drivers, and it'll sort it for you.

A very wierd one - not something you'd associate with a driver issue - but there you go.

Behold the power of PH

Not quite - it's just as open (pun not intended) to bugs as MS is - indeed probably more so as its used less.

Driver issues can hit any application.

I find it far better. I do a hell of a lot of writing in college, and previously at work. Open fecks up, and does random things a hell of a lot less frequently than word. I love it.
